Summary of Altered Image 2, by Jim Valentino

Dive into the whimsical chaos of Jim Valentino's Altered Image #2, where visuals take center stage in a playful comic escapade.

Welcome to the whimsy and chaos of Altered Image #2, where Jim Valentino takes the comic book world and flips it on its head like a pancake on a Sunday morning (with a side of syrupy chaos, of course). In this second installment of the series, Valentino continues to serve up his unique blend of storytelling and art, although we're left in a bit of a mystery here since the synopsis is as sparse as a teenager's fridge.

When we dive into this issue, we're greeted with a lot of visuals and maybe less talking than in your average family dinner (if that family has a penchant for silence). But don't you worry, the comic world, like a good sitcom, doesn't need an abundance of dialogue to pack a punch; it just needs a few brilliantly drawn panels to keep you entertained and scratching your head in bemusement.

The characters? Oh boy, where do we start? You've got a plethora of personalities-some more exaggerated than your uncle's stories from the good old days. Valentino crafts them with the finesse of a chef whipping up a soufflé-light, airy, and just a tad unpredictable.

As for the plot, well, let's just say it's a roller coaster of unexpected twists that might leave you feeling a bit queasy-and not just from the nachos you consumed while reading. Is there a central storyline? Maybe. Will it make sense? Possibly. But what we can count on here is that Valentino treats us to a visual buffet that's rich in colors and packed with action, like a superhero movie, minus the blockbuster budget but with all the flair.

You won't find ground-breaking revelations or gut-wrenching moral dilemmas, but rather a whimsical escapade that makes you want to turn the page just to see what on earth an artist may draw next. It's a testament to VALENTINO that he can keep us engaged with a package that feels like a delightful combination of chaos and creativity.

In conclusion, Altered Image #2 doesn't tell you a linear story, it invites you to experience a colorful tapestry of characters and actions that pop off the pages. Spoilers? Please. The real spoiler is that this comic might just lure you in with its artwork and leave you scratching your head about the plot (or whether you even need one). So, grab some popcorn and enjoy the visual ride that's more about the whimsical journey than the destination. Who needs a cohesive narrative anyway?
